Hotelicopter, an April Fools Day prank

Hotelicopter is an April Fools Day video prank that went viral in 2009 showing a craft based on the Soviet made Mil V-12 military helicopter, leading millions to believe the world's first luxury hotel/helicopter was a reality. The video and website explained the first commercial flight of Hotelicopter was scheduled to take off on 26 June 2009 from JFK Airport in New York City, and reach the UK later that August.

In 2010 the Christian Science Monitor named the Hotelicopter as one of its top five online April Fools pranks. The Times also included the prank in its 10 best travel April fools, rating it as 10/10.

The Making of Titanic (1997)

Titanic is a 1997 American epic romantic disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in lead roles.

The modern day scenes of the expedition were shot on the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, a 6,240 ton Russian scientific research vessel, in July 1996. Principal photography for Titanic began in September 1996 at the newly-built Fox Baja Studios.

The film was produced in $200 million (INR 1,100 crores) and it went on to earn a whopping $2.2 billion (INR 12,100 crores) shattering all records and became the biggest ever blockbuster of Hollywood history until then.
